Here's a csh or tcsh script that will do it. It is not smart enough
(nor am I in this horrid language) to deal with words at ends of lines
- just add a space and a '%' to protect it.
#!/bin/tcsh -f
#(ie run the tshell on this but don't read the .cshrc or .tcshrc)
echo version = 1.00 of boldit 2006 Sep 28
# 2006 Sep 28, 1.00: origin
if ($#argv < 2) then
echo 'usage: boldit [latex.tex file] [word list]
echo 'Put a LaTeX bold command on every word listed in the file.'
exit
endif
# define the arguments:
set latex = $1
set wordlist = $2
set name = "\\textbf"
set tmp = /tmp/`whoami`.boldit
cp $latex $tmp
# step through the wordlist and change each word
foreach word (`cat $wordlist`)
echo "changing $word"
cat $tmp |\
# convert words surrounded by spaces: \
sed "s/ $word / $name{$word} /g" |\
# convert words at beginning of line, followed by a space: \
sed "s/^$word /\\textbf{$word} /g" |\
# convert words at ending of line, preceeded by a space: \
# sed "s/ $word\\$/\\textbf{$word} /g" |\ this doesn't work \
# sed "s/ $word$/\\textbf{$word} /g" |\ this doesn't work \
# sed "s/ $word\$/\\textbf{$word} /g" |\ this doesn't work \
cat > $latex
cp $latex $tmp
end

Save the text, give permissions to execute (with chmod).
If you have a Mac (OSX) you can do this easily with the Terminal. On
a Windows you're on your own but cygwin probably can run the script.
